'Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known…' I came across this amazing quote quite suddenly and realised how relevant it is for all of us; students, parents and teachers alike.

Education is a lifelong exercise that can be unbelievably exciting if only we wish to jump onto the train of experience and take a trip around the world. For it is in wanting to know that will result in actually getting to know.

It has been rightly stated that if we don't change we don't grow. If we don't grow we aren't really living. I believe that a student must live his/her own dream and not succumb to expectations and pressures from others, including family and peers. Prof. C. V. Raman started as an auditor and rose to get a Nobel Prize in Physics. This was because he listened to the voice of his heart and got the right support and environment.

Creativity and imagination make children grow up to be productive adults who then arrive as citizens of the world ready to make their own great contribution to mankind. Therefore, I urge you to take a moment and be sure to always put your energy, faith, talent and time into an institution that has strong codes of conduct, which in turn, will benefit you and the community.

Remember, my young friends, that you will have the occasion to learn at every stage of life and never miss this opportunity. Mahatma Gandhi had said and I quote : '' Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.'' We should always strive to do better and expand our capacity in the pursuit of excellence.

Aim high, let the sky be your limit and face life's challenges with confidence and happiness. It is this undaunting spirit of our young students that will assist us to set the character, direction, mood and decorum of our institution.
